If [tex]f(n) = (n - 1)^{2} + 3n[/tex]which statement is true?
![If [tex]f(n) = (n - 1)^{2} + 3n[/tex]which statement is true? class=](https://us-static.z-dn.net/files/d37/70d35b82110d07cff2592de6953e4922.png)
To find the statement that is true you need to find each f(n).
[tex]f(n)=(n-1)^2+3n[/tex]1) f(3)
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(3)=(3-1)^2+3(3) \\ f(3)=2^2+9 \\ f(3)=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]2) and 3) f(-2)
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-2)=(-2-1)^2+3(-2) \\ f(-2)=-3^2-6 \\ f(-2)=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]4) f(-15)
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-15)=(-15-1)^2+3(-15) \\ f(-15)=-16^2-45 \\ f(-15)=211 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the statemet that is true is 2) f(-2)=3
